Cosmetic and Therapeutic Benefits
Complement Your Smile Aesthetics
and Alleviate Dental Conditions
Botulinum toxin injections, commonly known by the brand name Botox®, have seen a rise in popularity among dental practices and face fillers. Botox is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin that blocks transmitters between the motor nerves that innervate specific muscles. Botox injections cause muscles to relax, thereby reducing the appearance of undesirable wrinkles. Our cosmetic dentist Dr. Mimi Theerathada has extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and aesthetics and advanced training in facial rejuvenation techniques that complement her skills in transforming patients’ smiles.
Westlake Smile Studio offers the highest quality cosmetic dentistry, Juvederm® dermal fillers, and Botox in Westlake Village, CA. Although complications are relatively low and most cases are mild, getting Botox and dermal fillers from a highly trained dentist like Dr. Mimi is crucial.

Enhance Your Facial Beauty or Relax Jaw Muscles
While Botox in Westlake Village, CA, is used cosmetically to treat fine lines and wrinkles, it offers a range of therapeutic applications in dentistry. It’s an effective adjunct treatment for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and bruxism (teeth clenching/grinding). Botox has a proven ability to relax hyperactive muscles in patients with TMJ and reduce the force of muscular contractions in patients with bruxism. Botox can also reduce the appearance of gummy smiles caused by hyperactive upper lip elevator muscles. Botox treatments usually take 10–14 days following injection for maximum results, typically lasting three to four months. Whether you’re looking to enhance your facial beauty or treat a dental-related condition, we offer both cosmetic and therapeutic injections of Botox at Westlake Smile Studio.
Dermal fillers in Westlake Village, CA, are an effective nonsurgical option to rebalance facial proportions, increase symmetry, and reduce wrinkles and volume loss. Most fillers utilize hyaluronic acid as their base, a naturally occurring substance that helps bind water to cells. Hyaluronic acid provides excellent lifting capacity, making it optimal for restoring volume in your cheeks and midface. Dermal fillers are injected into the mid and deep dermal layers to correct moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, such as the nasolabial folds, marionette grooves, and deep scars. Juvederm is the most popular dermal filler collection, with six unique, long-lasting fillers designed to treat different areas of the face. When you get a Juvederm dermal filler at Westlake Smile Studio, you’ll be amazed by the instantaneous improvements to your facial aesthetics. Results typically last six to 18 months, depending on the type of dermal filler used and the injection site.
